Transportation Capacity and Demand Planning - Analyse carrier performance and historical data for trade lanes to plan for future transportation needs. Collaborate with carriers to negotiate freight contracts and book ocean and air carrier capacity for domestic or international shipments.

Transportation Requirements Management - Effectively manage transportation requirements from order entry to final settlement. Integrate order processing with order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes.

Freight Planning and Optimisation - Create freight plans for individual units and shipments – and optimise and consolidate them for domestic, international, single, or multimodal transportation scenarios. Schedule the most freight for the least cost while honoring service constraints.

Freight and Forwarding Settlement - Manage both simple and complex freight agreements and related master data, as well as calculation rules for carriers and customers. Calculate freight costs, revenue, and profits precisely and automatically.

SAP Transportation Management 9.4 is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.5. It’s an ABAP-type application that most IT professionals will already be familiar with – reducing the need for training. Simple to integrate, extend, and deploy, the application makes it easy for IT to deliver a consistent and reliable user experience.

SAP Visual Business - Display SAP TM data on geographical maps and take advantage of interactive functionality within the SAP TM user interface. Note: You must install a front-end client before you can use SAP Visual Business – and SAP Global Trade Services is required for customs management.
